Pirrows.

So a few months ago I bought a bunch of pillow forms so I could make pillows for a craft show. Well, the show came and went and I didn’t get them done. THEN, I was going to make them into Christmas gifts. Then Christmas came and went. You know what it feels like, right? I mean, I’m not the only person this happens to, right?

So now it’s January and I finally finished them! Yay! 2 matching sets that have now where to go (maybe the shop if I can get around to listing them) and 1 big pillow for me.

When left to my own devices, I seem to always gravitate toward squares or circles. I’m really just a big circle and dot fan. I got all these dots from 1 piece of cheatercloth (available here, and a different colorway here).

Cool, huh? I love how all the seemingly unmatching prints and colors work so well together.

And why the title of this post? Because sometimes it’s just fun to say thing in ways that they weren’t meant to be said. And saying “pirrows” is fun. 😉

I used MistyFuse to fuse the dots to the linen, then used a straight stitch. Over time the raw edges might fray a bit, but at that point I can probably press the edges again. I love those bright colors too!

I am hoping that the “Notify me of site updates” means I will get updates for the whole site rather than the posted comments to this entry. Just found your site and it rocks! I don’t do readers (no time after emails).

Craft Apple

An apple a day keeps the doctor away, right? Well, crafting is my apple. It's what I do to maintain my sanity while taking care of my family. I homeschool my three boys, ages 12, 13, and 14), am a quilter, a bagaholic, and a pattern designer.
